Case It! is a National Science Foundation - sponsored project providing a framework for collaborative case-based learning via free, open-ended molecular biology simulations and cases based primarily on genetic and infectious disease.

8/23/10 - Download Case It v6.04

CaseItv6.04* is a simulation that performs common laboratory procedures on any DNA or protein sequence. It has all of the capabilities of the earlier version (5.03), but adds new features such as bioinformatics analysis and autoloading of DNA and protein samples to speed loading of gels, blots, ELISA, and 96-well PCR.

CaseItv6.04 must be used with MEGA4** to fully implement bioinformatics features. See the 'Installation' link at left for instructions on integrating Case It and MEGA4, both of which are free of charge for educational use.

Here is a link to the Student version of the Resource Manual. Contact Mark Bergland for access to the Instructor's version, with keys to cases.
